From
USATODAY.com:
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson met with six of his Mexican counterparts Friday to discuss immigration and ways to halt a wave of drug-fueled violence that has left scores of people dead along the Mexican border.
El Presidente Fox also had something to say:
Mexican President Vicente Fox, who addressed the gathering in a video message, spoke against U.S. civilian border patrols and said Mexico will stand against anyone acting outside the law.
You mean, like people who illegally enter this country from your country? No, of course not. He's actually referring to the
Minuteman Project volunteers:
The National Border Patrol Council, Local 2544 in Tucson, Ariz., endorsed the Minuteman Project, saying its members -- about 2,000 field agents -- did not have "one single complaint from a rank-and-file agent in this sector about the Minutemen."
"Every report we've received indicates these people are very supportive of the rank-and-file agents; they're courteous. Many of them are retired firefighters, cops and other professionals, and they're not causing us any problems whatsoever," the council said.
He probably wasn't thinking too much about
this, either:
The plan also calls for better training for Mexican police, programs to prevent violence along the border, and the creation of a database containing the identities of members of criminal organizations, including the Zetas, a group of Mexican soldiers-turned-drug hit men believed to be controlling Nuevo Laredo.
Go for it, Vicente. Take a stand against people who are acting outside the law. It would make for a refreshing change.
